Commands
Jaade has two ways to drive the app by name: the command palette for fuzzy file and view navigation, and the app-command catalog that Jaade Bot can trigger on your behalf.
Command palette
Open the palette with Cmd/Ctrl + P. It searches files and commands:
- The query is tokenized on whitespace — tokens are AND-matched against the full file path, not just the basename — and results are ranked by fuzzy relevance with highlighted matches.
- Use it to open files, switch views, and run commands. The workspace switcher is reachable from here too.
App commands
These named commands open views and panels. You can ask Jaade Bot to run them in plain language (the phrasing in the left column), and many are also reachable from the UI directly.
Views (main pane)
| Ask for… | Opens |
|---|---|
| "Start a new session" / "new task" | New Task |
| "Open projects" | Projects |
| "Open the task board" | Task Board (needs Tasks on) |
| "Open mini apps" | Mini Apps (needs Mini Apps on) |
| "Show my memories" | Memories |
| "Open skills" / "show my plugins" / "open MCP servers" | Skills & MCPs |
| "Open settings" | Settings |
Panels (right rail)

| "Open source control" | Source Control |
| "Show git history" | Git history |
| "Open paste history" | Paste History |

Terminal & workspace
| Ask for… | Does |
|---|---|
| "New terminal" | Opens a new terminal tab |
| "Switch workspace" | Opens the workspace switcher |

| "Focus the command bar" | Focuses the chat command bar |
| "Zoom in" / "zoom out" / "reset zoom" | Adjusts UI zoom |

TIP
You don't need to memorize command names — Jaade Bot maps natural-language requests to the right command, and the same actions are available through the sidebar, palette, and panels.
